Historic first: NIMAS team completes Brahmaputra Rafting Expedition

Itanagar, Feb 10 (UNI) A skilled team from Arunachal Pradesh’s Dirang-based National Institute of Mountaineering and Adventure Sports (NIMAS), led by its Director Col Ranveer Singh Jamwal achieved a groundbreaking feat of adventure and endurance by completing the first-ever attempt to navigate the entire 1040-km stretch of the mighty Brahmaputra River.
The expedition began on January 14 at Gelling village in Arunachal Pradesh, where the river enters India from Tibet, and concluded on Monday (Feb 10) at Hatsingimari, Assam, near the Bangladesh border.
This historic journey is a testament to human resilience, teamwork, and a deep commitment to exploring the untamed landscapes of India. The expedition braved unpredictable terrain, fierce weather, and remote stretches to accomplish what no one had attempted before, a release from the NIMAS said.
